Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wind turbine hoisting, in particular to a wind turbine nacelle hub combined hoisting device with adjustable center of gravity. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing power generation of wind turbines, especially the rapid development of offshore wind power technology, the nacelle-hub combined lifting scheme that can simplify the on-site lifting process has broad application prospects. The existing wind turbine nacelle lifting schemes on the market are all special lifting equipment, that is, they only lift nacelles of the same model and state. The nacelle has an accurate center of gravity position, a simple structure, and is easy to use, but the function is relatively single. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wind turbine nacelle-hub combined lifting device with an adjustable center of gravity, which can realize the combined lifting of the nacelle and the hub under different working conditions by adjusting the lifting point position, thereby improving the on-site lifting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a wind turbine nacelle hub assembly hoisting device with adjustable center of gravity to solve the above technical problems.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a wind turbine nacelle hub combined lifting device with adjustable center of gravity, comprising a main longitudinal beam, a hydraulic rod, a pin assembly, an inclination sensor, a balance beam, a lifting lug, a cross beam, a sling and a shackle assembly, wherein both ends of the main longitudinal beam are hinged to one end of two hydraulic rods through a pin assembly, and one end of the two hydraulic rods away from the main longitudinal beam is hinged to the balance beam, and the two hydraulic rods are arranged in an "eight" shape, a lifting lug is provided on the front side of the bottom of the main longitudinal beam, a cross beam is fixedly provided on one side of the main longitudinal beam away from the lifting lug, a sling is provided on the lifting lug and is connected to the wind turbine hub through the sling, and a sling is provided on the cross beam and is connected to the nacelle through the sling.

[0005] Preferably, two cross beams are provided and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main longitudinal beam, and the cross beams are arranged perpendicular to the main longitudinal beam.

[0006] Preferably, the sling is detachably connected to the crossbeam via a shackle assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the inclination sensor is arranged on the main longitudinal beam, and the inclination sensor is detachably connected to the main longitudinal beam by bolts.

[0008] Preferably, the balance beam is provided with hanging plates at the top and the bottom, the hanging plate at the top is provided with hanging holes for connection with the main hook of the crane, and the hanging plate at the bottom is hinged with the hydraulic rod by means of a pin shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the two hydraulic cylinders are located in the same plane.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the "eight"-shaped arrangement of the main longitudinal beam, hydraulic rod, inclination sensor, and hydraulic rod is more stable, reducing the swing amplitude of the nacelle hub during the hoisting process. By relying on the extension and retraction of the two hydraulic rods, the main hook position can be adjusted arbitrarily, so that the main hook is always above the center of gravity of the hoisted object. Combined with the data fed back by the inclination sensor, the hoisting posture is adjusted in real time, which can greatly improve the hoisting safety and efficiency. Compared with the traditional split hoisting, the combined hoisting method of the nacelle and the hub solves the problems of difficult docking of the nacelle hub and low assembly efficiency, and can meet the hoisting construction of nacelle hubs of different working conditions and different weights.

Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a wind turbine nacelle hub combined lifting device with adjustable center of gravity, comprising a main longitudinal beam 1, a hydraulic rod 2, a pin assembly 3, an inclination sensor 4, a balance beam 5, a lifting lug 6, a cross beam 7, a sling 8 and a shackle assembly 11, wherein both ends of the main longitudinal beam 1 are hinged to one end of two hydraulic rods 2 through the pin assembly 3, and one end of the two hydraulic rods 2 away from the main longitudinal beam 1 is hinged to the balance beam 5, and the two hydraulic rods 2 are arranged in an "eight" shape, a lifting lug 6 is provided on the front side of the bottom of the main longitudinal beam 1, a cross beam 7 is fixedly provided on one side of the main longitudinal beam 1 away from the lifting lug 6, a sling 8 is provided on the lifting lug 6 and is connected to a wind turbine hub 9 through the sling 8, and a sling 8 is provided on the cross beam 7 and is connected to a nacelle 10 through the sling 8.

[0020] Specifically, two cross beams 7 are provided and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main longitudinal beam 1. The cross beams 7 are arranged perpendicular to the main longitudinal beam 1 to improve the stability of the nacelle hub assembly hoisting.

[0021] Specifically, the sling 8 and the crossbeam 7 are detachably connected via a shackle assembly 11, which is convenient for quick disassembly and assembly. It should be noted that the shackle assembly 11 can be selected as a quick-release hook commonly used in the art. The other end of the sling 8 passes through the skylight on the top of the cabin 10 and the hub 9 shell and is connected to the hanging point on the frame.

[0022] Specifically, the inclination sensor 4 is arranged on the main longitudinal beam 1, and the inclination sensor 4 is detachably connected to the main longitudinal beam 1 through bolts. The three-dimensional posture of the main longitudinal beam can be remotely monitored through the inclination sensor 4, so as to provide data support for solving the inclination angle ±θ to be compensated for the lifting of the nacelle hub assembly, so as to facilitate the on-site operator to adjust the center of gravity position of the hoist in time, ensure the stability of the lifting process, and adjust the telescopic length of the two hydraulic rods 2 to change the inclination of the main longitudinal beam 1. It is recommended to apply the "rough leveling first, then fine leveling" adjustment method. If the above +θ>5°, the hydraulic rod 2 on one side is extended, the hydraulic rod 2 on the other side is shortened, and the recommended speed is adopted on both sides to basically complete the leveling of the nacelle hub. Vice versa, if the above ±θ≤5°, only the hydraulic rod 2 on one side is extended and retracted, and the recommended speed is adopted to fine-tune the inclination of the nacelle hub assembly, so that the main hook is always above the center of gravity of the nacelle hub to ensure the balance of the hoisted object.

[0023] Specifically, hanging plates 12 are arranged on the top and bottom of the balance beam 5. The hanging plate 12 at the top is provided with a hanging hole for connecting with the main hook of the crane, and the hanging plate 12 at the bottom is hinged with the hydraulic rod 2 by a pin shaft.

[0024] Specifically, the two hydraulic cylinders 2 are located in the same plane to improve stability.

[0025] A specific application example of this embodiment is:

[0026] When the device is in use,

[0027] The first step is to pass the sling through the cabin and the hub shell skylight before lifting, and connect it to the lifting point on the frame with a shackle;

[0029] The third step is to connect the other end of the sling with the lifting lug 6 and the crossbeam 7 at the bottom of the lifting device using the shackle assembly 11, and slowly lift it.

[0030] The fourth step is to adjust the extension and retraction of the two hydraulic rods 2 according to the data fed back by the inclination sensor 4 during the lifting process so that the lifting device is always in a horizontal state.
